"Sharing Miss Representation with our employees was a powerful experience. The film… generated an active dialogue… and empowered our employees to speak out when they see things that need to change. This film raises critical issues facing our society today, and I would encourage other companies to become part of this important conversation.”
-Tracy Layney, VP of Global HR Strategy, Technology & Operations at Gap, Inc.

“As a [white] male in my 50’s [Miss Representation] made me painfully aware of the way we have mistreated women… our ‘male‘ collective behavior has created an…environment marked by a lack of integrity, fairness, and professionalism. This, in my opinion, is an environment that must change. I feel the need to be one male that steps forward to help with that change. Did I enjoy this? Not really. Did I need this exposure? Absolutely… More… men… need to be exposed to this film. Too many men like myself have gone far too long without seeing both sides of the themes brought forward in Miss Representation. Time for us to wake up.”

Over 100,000 people have pledged to use their voice to challenge the media’s limiting portrayal of women and girls.

Our social media community reaches millions of people weekly with facts, commentary and stories about gender stereotypes and inequities.

Through #NotBuyingIt we organize thousands of individuals to demand brands stop using sexism to market products. Companies influenced include: GoDaddy, Amazon, Disney, Nike, Spirit Halloween, and Harrods.

In a September 5, 2013 New York Times Article, GoDaddy announced a significant marketing shift. “There is another way to advertise that... doesn’t have to push customers away: still edgy, still fun, still entertaining, still irreverent but talking in a more grown-up way, doing things that are hilarious, memorable and don’t polarize.”--GoDaddy New Chief Executive, Blake Irving

The Keep It Real Challenge, a 2012 partnership with Spark, I Am That Girl, LoveSocial, and, Endangered Bodies, got the attention of dozens of magazine editors and culminated in Seventeen Magazine publicly renouncing photo-shopped beauty.

Through partnerships with major advertising leaders like The American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s) and The 3% Conference - as well as advertising agencies like Eleven Inc., Goodby Silverstein and DOJO - we spotlight innovative strategies for bringing more women into leadership behind the scenes.
